Justin Thomas, one of the sport’s top players, weighed in on the rivalry during a press conference at Castle Pines, revealing a surprising preference. Despite Scheffler’s six victories this season, including a win at the Paris Olympics, Thomas expressed admiration for Schauffele’s two major wins at the PGA Championship and The Open. “For me personally, I would — I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think I would take Xander’s just because of two majors,” Thomas admitted, acknowledging the prestige of Schauffele’s accomplishments.
